Dan Donovan can't get out of his own way because Jessica Proud is in the way.....

Time is running out --- Dan Donovan is deep in a hole in his race with Mike Grimm --- AND --- Jessica Proud just keeps digging it deeper

You all should have heard by now --- under pressure from >>> all polls <<< showing him WAY BEHIND GRIMM, Dan Donovan sent out his infamous anti-immigrant mailer that thoroughly lacked any humanity

According to Julianne Cuba's take on all of this, "Critics across the aisle are blasting the Bay Ridge congressman for hitting peoples’ doorsteps with what they charge is offensive anti-immigration propaganda just to win some votes in a contentious Republican primary election that hasPresident Trumpand his controversial policies at its center.... 'We need new leaders who campaign on hope and ideas, not fear and hate,' Army veteran Max Rose, a Democrat running to unseat Rep. Dan Donovan(R–Bay Ridge),wrote on Twitter. '[Donovan] thinks this kind of hateful imagery will win him an election in #NY11. He couldn’t be more wrong.' Donovan sent out hundreds of mailers this week to voters across his Ridge-to-Rock district week that read: 'Build the Wall. Enforce the Law — Only Unwavering Law and Order will Defeat Illegal Immigration.'... " (See "Donovan whacked by both sides over ‘hateful’ mailer" by Julianne Cuba, 6/7/18, Courier Life's Brooklyn Daily/ Party Line [https://www.brooklyndaily.com/stories/2018/23/pl-party-line-2018-06-08-bk.html]).

Where are the first string GOP consultants ?????

Without a doubt, incumbent Republican Congressman Dan Donovan had problems going into this year's elections. He and his handlers have made things much worse by leaving Jessica Proud in charge of a campaign that looks like it's being run by a bunch of amateurs.

That's not from me, I'm only a humble blogger. It's from two longtime Brooklyn pols one of whom knows Donovan and Proud very well.

Maybe, our commenters can provide more detail on what I'm talking about; or maybe, somebody out there can set me straight.....

Proud is his press spokesperson. To the best of people's knowledge, she only screws up with reporters and news releases.

The backfiring anti-immigrant mailer is from his direct mail consultants, who previously did Ted Cruz's presidential campaign. We all know well that worked out. Like, have they ever done a race outside the Bible Belt?

Julianne Cuba is a hack calling herself a journalist. She’s a member of Fight Back Bay Ridge a socialist group loyal to Justin Brannan. She basically writes any hit pieces against any Republican around. That said Jessica Proud has been outfoxed and beaten to the punch repeatedly, like when I’m repaonse to a big poll lead by Grimm she tweeted that “paid media” would carry the day for Donovan, not exactly a smart message to send to voters. Immigration huge issue on Staten Island and his campaign has been foolish to let open borders advocate Grimm take the mantle as a Trump Immigration Hawk. Team Donovan has made a lot of mistakes but immigration mailer wasn’t one of them. What Donovan has going for him now is Grimm has even more “out of town” consultants making boneheaded moves and irritating the natives ala Recchia.

Cool your jets GM. Paula Katinas isn't a member of the socialist group Fight Back Bay Ridge. Cuba is a member and despises all Republicans. She's nice in public and at the meetings and says the worst things in front of Democrat operatives stupidly not realizing that there are Democrats who socialize with Republicans.

Does Marty's memory have flaws or just his story. He reacted to Julianne by saying his on the job he disability was was caused when he was hit by a CAR. I think the story used to be that Marty was hit by a BUS.

You’ve gotta figure even Donovan is on to the Kassar con by now but maybe he just doesn’t care. But what was the point of keeping the entire BK Grimm Office intact with every one of them working a member of the Kings County Conservative party to have all of them work to elect Grimm again?

Because Kassar rules and Eaton is afraid to make a move...while Liam is with Grimm as 1204am, Eaton is afraid to go against his arch nemesis Marty Golden...everyone know Craig can't stand Marty but Johnny Cats is keeping him quiet...poor fella

Eaton is actually openly backing Dan Donovan and only Dan Donovan. They've been friends for years. When Donovan ran in the special election, Eaton's team helped and was involved and there was nothing Kassar could do about it. Kassar did get all the jobs though. Funny how things come full circle, now Dan is being helped by Eaton while Kassar has to plead with Donovan people that he's not a turncoat even though his favorite operatives like Liam McCabe and Bob Morgan are on the Grimm campaign.

Almost everything 10:50 wrote is true. No question Jerry had the power and BK Office mostly Conservatives. The real question is since so many Kassar inner circle not only on Grimm campaign but waging savage personal attacks against Dan Donovan, isn’t obvious to Dan that Jerry has no integrity?

11:30 AM, are you insane or just pretending to be? Mike Connors, the Rifleman? Mike Connors, the Rifleman! The actor Mike Connors was MANNIX, not the Rifleman.

The actor "Chuck" Conners played the Rifleman; and he was known as Kevin Connors around OLPH, when that neighborhood was still part of Bay Ridge.

Besides, the Mike Connors, mentioned in the comments above as having the Grimm poster on his lawn, is a lawyer, ala Connors & Sullivan. He also happens to be State Senator Marty Golden's district office landlord.

Kassar has only so much power left. No matter what happens with Dan Donovan he is a loser. Even if Dan doesn’t care about his backstabbing, others in political circles have noticed. If Donovan wins Primary there is no way he is hiring Grimm staffers no matter what Jerry says or has promised them. If Grimm wins primary, they work for a few more months and then the entire BK Conservatice patronage in Congressional Office gone after Max Rose wins race.’

Wow the 12:10 minion is loyal and desperate. No one said Donovan is close to Eaton and no one knows if Donovan knows cares or has any time to pay attention to the double dealing let alone fire anyone. Cats and Kassar? The best he can hope for and the best that Golden is hoping for is that Cats has forgotten who he is. Anybody in the know is familiar with that situation.

The Golden crowd is trying so hard to pretend that everything is like ten years ago when it isn't anymore, and never will be again. That dry blowing sound is all of them trying to whistle past the graveyard together so the boggie-man doesn't get them... BOOOOO!

Still waiting for an answer as to why Eaton is not cominf out against Golden? Everyone in the know is familiar with the situation that Eaton hates Golden and everyone in the know knows Cats is with Golden and told Eaton to sit down and shut up, which he is doing in the race...so much for Craigs influence with Cats

First you said Cats himself saying Marty is mentoring Andrea via Twitter doesn't matter, then Cats himself sending out an email to most Brooklyn insiders saying he is supporting Golden despite what Eaton says doesn't matter, then Eaton not publicly going against Golden because of Cats supporting Marty..well the picture is clear..

3:15 if they told you to go jump off a bridge would you do it? You repeat all of the nonsense that they tell you. The truth is the email to Golden was hardly flattering it was just so that things wouldn't get out of control after an article that Bob Capano wrote. That's why Golden only showed it to a few people. The truth is that after all the shit they've tried to do to Cats they are afraid he will bankroll Gounardes actually terrified. So all this silliness about a one word tweet of mentoring. Desperation hysteria and paranoia. You know about as much as when Golden will appear on Cats program as who the next Kentucky Derby winner will be.

This is some real inside scoop - Treyger screwed the pooch in the middle of the parlor rug with everybody watching - as a result, Gounardes is still the Dems' guy against Marty - so in the 22nd SD, it's Gounardes and Golden going for the Reform Party's state senate line - and Marty should get that 'endorsement' any day now...; any day now...; ahem! any day now...; yawn! any day now... You are getting sleepy....; any... gasp/gag/cough/snore! (well, by now you should know it well, god bless your dear little heart).

10:39, you must a denizen of cool dark places, deep dank caverns, or bunker-like root cellars built well into the northeast side of a hill.

Andrew Gounardes has been circulating state senate petitions for over a week, lots of signatures are in the can, and he is the Democrat Organization's choice; Ross Barkan, well let's see what he files, if anything.

I HAVE SEEN VERY LITTLE EVIDENCE THAT JOHN CATSIMATIDIS IS >>> WITH <<< MARTY GOLDEN --- AND EATON HAS REPEATEDLY COME OUT >>> AGAINST <<< THE VERY SAME MARTY GOLDEN --- MOST RECENTLY THE BITCH-SLAPPING THAT BOTH GOLDEN & GHORRA GOT WHEN THEY BOTH SUFFERED A HUMILIATING COCK-BLOCK WHEN GHORRA TRIED TO STEP UP TO THE NYS/NYC GOP VICE CHAIRMANSHIP
